 Stephon Marbury Watches Presidential Debate in a Homeless Shelter

categories | Uncategorized


Between the face tattoo, the unreal mike’d up interview, the threats on his Isiah and everything else, we’ve all had some laughs at Knicks’ guard Stephon Marbury.  That said, credit where credit is due – NY Mag has reported that Marbury watched the most recent debates at a homeless shelter and the quotes that are coming out of the piece are worth reading:

At one point, when the debate turned to the economy, Marbury snorted. “Middle class? We don’t have a middle class anymore.” As the millionaire said those words, the homeless agreed. “I love Starbury,” an excited resident said, referring to Marbury’s affordable sneaker and clothing line. “I can get hot shoes for like $30. Jordan wants me to pay $100.” Others gave him career advice. “Hey, you know, I see you doing good in the sixth-man role,” one resident offered. “It’s just a game,” Marbury answered, pointing at the screen. “There’s more to life.”

Sure, this will get filed under ‘crazy’ with the rest Marbury’s antics, but this seems far more like the good kind of crazy than the bad.  You won’t find too many people making the type of money that Marbury does spending their debate nights like this.

Feel free to make all the easy jokes in the comments.
